What an amazing gesture from our friends over at Casa Bar&Grill ! Also, if you can walk to the restaurant where you live in the neighborhood, they are open for takeout!

“During this snowstorm, we want to take a moment to thank the heroes working through the cold in Fall River. Casa Bar & Grill is offering a FREE Portuguese Steak Sandwich to first responders as a small way of saying thank you. Stay safe and stay warm.”
